密度泛函理论计算中的压力修正

Pressure Correction in Density Functional Theory Calculations

S. H. Lee, Jones T. K. Wan

摘要:

基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理计算已广泛应用于成土物质的结构、热弹性、流变和电子性质的研究。然而,交换相关项是基于各种近似实现的,这被认为是实验和理论预测之间存在差异的主要原因。在这项工作中,通过使用方镁石MgO作为原型系统,我们研究的压力和Kohn-Sham能量的差异,是由于交换相关功能的选择。例如,我们选择了局部密度近似和广义梯度近似。我们在不同的温度和体积下进行了广泛的第一性原理计算,发现基于交换相关的Kohn-Sham能量和压力的差异应该与温度无关。这意味着,由特定选择的交换相关泛函估计的物理量,如状态方程、热容和格吕奈森参数,可以很容易地转换为由另一个交换相关泛函估计的物理量。我们的研究结果可能有助于在与地球深部相容的热力学条件下对矿物性质提供有用的约束。在地球深处的热力学条件下。

英文摘要:

First-principles calculations based on density functional theory have been widely used in studies of the structural, thermoelastic, rheological, and electronic properties of earth-forming materials. The exchange-correlation term, however, is implemented based on various approximations, and this is believed to be the main reason for discrepancies between experiments and theoretical predictions. In this work, by using periclase MgO as a prototype system we examine the discrepancies in pressure and Kohn-Sham energy that are due to the choice of the exchange-correlation functional. For instance, we choose local density approximation and generalized gradient approximation. We perform extensive first-principles calculations at various temperatures and volumes and find that the exchange-correlation-based discrepancies in Kohn-Sham energy and pressure should be independent of temperature. This implies that the physical quantities, such as the equation of states, heat capacity, and the Grüneisen parameter, estimated by a particular choice of exchange-correlation functional can easily be transformed into those estimated by another exchange-correlation functional. Our findings may be helpful in providing useful constraints on mineral properties %at thermodynamic conditions compatible to deep Earth. at deep Earth thermodynamic conditions.
